(Inside the MVMCP Guidemap is a Magic Kingdom map, of course. The new Fantasyland Holiday Hop has a star marking the place somewhere between the Dumbo attraction and Ariel's Grotto. Everything that I have written above is written directly as it is written from the MVMCP Guidemap. This Hop thing and the following are my best guesstamate from the location of the different symbols on the map.)
It shows the parade route, and symbols of "gingerbread men" that shows three locations to get your Cookies and Chocolate Milk. Symbols of "Mickey's pointing hand" showing nine places to visit Disney Characters. Symbols of a "flashing camera" showing two locations to have your Family Photo and to pick up your MVMCP Button. Symbol of a Santa hat to see Santa Claus.

Well...that's all. I know there are some changes from last year to this year. I am on the clock at FedEx/Kinko's Store on the internet, and it is midnight, and I have been up over 32 hours in a row, so I'll let you compare the list to the one on my 2003 MVMCP Guidemap with the link below:

But this should give some newbies an idea of what to expect and what to plan for.
ºoº Have fun planning.
ºoº Sincerely, Ray
Here is information on the map again and I will try to describe "Where TO Find...". Of course these may change a little bit this year, but most of locations are about the same. Maybe this can help you plan, too.
1. Where is Santa Claus to take pictures with the kids of all ages sitting on his lap?"
ºoº Besides seeing Santa high on his chair in the parade, he was located in only one spot. As you enter the MK, and walk under the railroa station, go to your LEFT side. Santa is located outside on the left side of the City Hall. Usually you will see the Popcorn vendor on the curb. Look to your left. He'll be waving to you...ho...ho...ho.
2. Where do you go to get your free holiday pictures taken and free MVMCP Button? (Note: Fill out a card for every member in your family to get a picture for each ticket that you bought. Except for the pictures that you want, and you take a family picture, make out the other cards to the grandparents address or some other friend.) This year there are only two places. My favorite is in Adventureland where the cookies and hot cocoa were near by.
ºoº In Advertureland, as you cross the bridge on your right near the Alola Isle dole whip place The Magic Carpets of Alladin.
ºoº This year in the Tomorrowland near the Timekeeper before you reach Buzz.
3. There were only three places to find cookies and cocoa:
ºoº In Adventureland right next to the photo taking place on your right as you cross the bridge between the Aloha Isle Dole Whip place and the attraction, The Magic Carpets of Aladdin. This is my favorite place to go.
ºoº In Liberty Square, it appears to be somewhere around the Liberty Tree Tavern restaurant if the symbol is in the right place.
ºoº At the counter service of the Plaza Pavilion. If you were walking up Mainstreet, you could hang a right before the bridge next to the Plaza Ice Cream Shop and walk straight to the Plaza Pavilion counter. To get a picture, just continue around to your left to the Tomorrowland Timekeeper area.
4. There are nine Favorite Character locations on the map. I don't remember who they were.
ºoº In the center circle of Mainstreet between the flag pole and the huge christmas tree.
ºoº In Adventureland between the Swiss Family Treehouse and the Jungle Cruise on the left.
ºoº In Adventureland in front of the Caribbean Cruise.
ºoº In Frontierland, between the Shootin' Arcade and the Country Bear Jamboree.
ºoº In Liberty Square near the River Boat as best as I can make out on the map
ºoº In Fantasyland near the closed "it's a small world."
ºoº Between the Fantasyland Mad Tea Party attraction and the Tomorrowland Indy Speedway.
Sometimes, near the end of MVMCP, as everyone is leaving, several Disney Characters appear in front of the Town Square Exposition Hall.
Sincerely, Ray
